With the Vision E, Skoda offers a glimpse into the company’s future. The concept car is the first purely electric vehicle in Skoda’s history. The emotionally designed five-door SUV coupé can travel up to 500 kilometres on purely electric power and meets the level 3 requirements for autonomous driving. Skoda is intensively perusing the electrification of its model range, and will be offering five purely electric models in various segments by 2025. At 4,645 mm long, 1,917 mm wide and 1,550 mm tall, the Vision E has great road presence. Thanks to the long wheelbase, as well as the short overhangs at the front and rear, the designers have created an extremely spacious interior. In the future-oriented vehicle concept, the elevated seating position typical of SUV models and the generous space combine with a dynamic silhouette and gently sloping roof line in the style of a coupé. Thanks to the system output of 225kW, the car accelerates instantaneously and dynamically and can reach a top speed of 180kmph.
The powerful lithium-ion batteries and optimal recuperation allow a range of up to 500 kilometres. Thanks to intelligent management, the two electric engines cooperate with maximum efficiency and drive the Vision E over all four wheels. The front- and rear-wheel drive is suitably adjusted to ensure the highest degree of stability, dynamism and safety at all times. The concept car also achieves the prerequisites for level 3 autonomous driving. It can operate independently in traffic jams, go into autopilot on motorways, stay in lane and swerve, carry out overtaking manoeuvres, independently search for free parking spaces and park and leave parking spaces alone. To enable this, various sensors with different ranges and numerous cameras constantly monitor the traffic situation.
